I can't seem to be fully pleased with what I'm making recently, I feel like when I sing to my initial playing it sounds amazing but its hard to take it from ideas and feelings to an effective way of expressing them.

Regardless, here you go.

'My eyes are dim cannot see,
Where we go now, where you are taking me,
Two steps forward one step back my destiny,
So pour them back hey, cheers to me.'

If this feels familiar then you are truly an OG.

I feel like reminiscing on all of the great parts of my childhood. The sound of a guitar on a cool evening, a haphazard fire and music playing, just living without the need for objective or purpose. It seems only when we grow up that there must be a meaning for life.
When we're young the meaning is simple; Experience, Explore and Dream.

So if anyone is reading this then remember those old times, those good times and remember; You are every experience that has happened to you. You always have a choice. Remember the good times.

STOIC

By The River

We are all the product of the experiences and decisions of those who live in the past behind us. But we are also the product of those who immediately have impacted our lives in living memory.

I think the main thing I have felt here is that we should accept our family, and those who came before us as critical to the way in which we live in this world.

So take a moment to remember, imagine, or empathise with those who have built the floor that we are now able to stand on.

As always,

I hope you enjoy -

Ancestors

Every day you might be a greater distance in space or time from where you began.
Many things have been lost to the past, many things are too far away to still be part of our lives.
But we continue on.

Onwards into the unknown, onwards to greatness and glory.
Keep it up. 
You'll make it.

That's all for today my friends,

A Thousand Steps

Finished this one late last year but much of life and indecision in editing it delayed it slightly.

Regardless,
Life is ultimately a journey, sometimes filled with companions and sometimes a stretch upon a lonely road. Like anything though you can't enjoy the good without first knowing the bad.
I think the point I want to convey is that there will always be struggle and there will always be joy so embrace the change, enjoy the journey and ...
```
Never see the sun go down,
Never let the light go out,
Never let the night come the darkness engulf you
```

I think its also good to realise that perspective is everything.
What do you have?
You always have something.

As always,

Your friend,

¬¬Nishi

Ghost Train

I don't normally upload something when I feel like there is more to do or more to finish but in this case I will.

I can't quite figure out what instrument to add to this in the back to make it better and I almost wanted to extend the song much further.

But perhaps it is finished in its simplicity. It feels clean and nice and the message I hope is plain to observe.

To climb so far as to be burnt, to have such hubris and pride as to cause ones own suffering in the chase of something that can't be achieved. We live in a world in which we can all see the apex and we all believe we can reach it. But what is lost in its pursuit?

And if it is truly an apex ...
then there is only room for few.

Stay sane my friends,

DawnBringer - InitialCut

Been working on this one far too long so here it is just sending it out into the world.

I'll keep it short and sweet.
Life is complicated, with many choices and changes and paths to take.
Whatever seems daunting now won't always be, and whatever is hard now the same.
Regardless of the state of your life, you'll figure it out. Honestly believe these words.

```
Figure it up all out,
You're gonna find it

Figure it up all out,
You're gonna find it

Figure it up all out,
You're gonna find it
```
That much I know it true

FigureItUpAllOut

Figure It Up All Out

It can be easy to fall into a slump, to lose invigoration or goal, and to no longer seek love. To no longer seek any joy from this life.

But are we not alive?
Do we not breathe, and see and persist?
Are we not blessed simple in our existence?

Take joy in the present, and in the fact that there ever was a past.
Take a step forward, 

Let your heart come alive.

I know,
you can throw away,
all of yesterday,
I know,
That I'm here to stay,
If you're next to me,
I know,
We can fly away,
If you'll come with me,
I know,
That you'll be with me,
Can you trust me?

Nothing really makes much sense though, 
But I've been thinking I might be essential,

-- Go on thinking that you might be essential, because we are all some essential part in the great and unlikely machine that is a world full of people.

Live on, go on, then keep on

Let Your Heart Come Alive

I'll have to wait some days or weeks and listen back to this one,
That always seems to be the way. When you're making the song it feels like the best you've ever made, but by the time you're done you don't even know if its good anymore.

Regardless, I hope some soul out there can appreciate this.


Every dream is a goal unachievable in the current state of the world. Unlike an objective it is further away. It requires change in oneself.
Sometimes you might arrive at the destination before you are ready, before you have made the change in order to truly fulfil that dream.
Don't be afraid to take that step. It can be hard to not have anything to hold onto. But you can hold onto the fact that no matter what happens, everything will change. Believe that everything happens for a reason.


```
You're my daydream,
Cause my life its been,
Just a path between,
You and me.

Cause I know you've been,
Watching over me,
in a cloud you'll be,
Moving on the wind.
```

As always,
¬¬Nishi

Entry description:
"Personally I don't think this track fully lives up to my current standards composition-wise, especially the verses' melody since they were made a bit in a hurry. Though Harumi and Pedi really helped me with them by giving me some ideas and advice, so I really want to thank them for that. 

Even though I am not 100% content with this track, I do think that the overall presentation should make for an enjoyable song to listen to. Hope you people enjoy it! "
